Unique and Cast in the .44 Magnum
Which barrel length on the Vaquero? I've shot thousands of 10gr Unique with the Keith bullet and Magma machine 240's. With the Keith bullet they do an honest 1000 fps from a 4" M29. The Magma bullets run 1050, probably due to the deeper seating. IIRC they do well over 1100 from a 7 1/2" SBH.
Going with a firm crimp with this load cleans it up considerably, but yeah, it's still gonna be a bit dirty.
